[Captivate General] rajendra82:
You can install the voodoo kernel via odin, but that can't be done straight from the phone. It is also packaged as a CWM flashable update.zip, so you could do it that way, but you still need a computer to root it first. Without root, you can't get into a non 3e recovery, and without that, you can't flash the package straight from the phone.
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Prior to the current stock 2.2, i used serendipity custom rom on my phone. i used AIO toolbox for captivate to flash serendipity custom rom. can i use the same tool to root my 2.2 phone? i am very new to this whole stuff. i see that this particular voodoo kernel provided significant performance improvement on the stock I897UCKB1 captivate. If you can provide step by step guidance that would be great. thanks
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
I'm rooted and have the 3e problem....i go into recovery with CWM but update fails...tried the 3e patch that accepts unsigned but sbin recovery is read only won't let me delete/overwrite....tried an emu to chmod but says permission denied lol....i must be missing something.... I'm familiar with os but can't seem to figure this. Only thing stopping me from voodoo lagfix is damn recovery file not being deleted
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Then how did rajendra82 do this?
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
I used superoneclick1.7 to root my phone. it ran and said the phone is rooted. Installed superuser. After that i downloaded ROM Manager and chose flash clockwork recovery ..it did the same. but when i get back into recovery using 3 button combo, it is still on 3e recovery and it is not allowing to run any .zip file. how did you do it? pls share the secret. i have the voodoo kernel ready to flash but i have no means to do it...come on buddy help me out :-)
[Captivate General] TommyZee:
OP try this

root explorer

mount R/W

/system/bin

rename recovery to xxxxxrecovery

drop 3e recovery in this folder

reboot

done
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
i reached until renaming recovery to xxxxxrecovery. but the problem is i could not see the folder /system/bin when i connect my phone to the computer..gave up...thanks for the help though..

if you can then pls give a little bit more help..i have always dropped .zip files in the main directory of the phone and have flashed custom roms before..this one is difficult for me...
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Looks like I will never be able to put voodoo lagfix on my stock 2.2 captivate. Lot of help posted here but none seem to work for me. I may need more detailed step-by-step instructions.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
the answer was already given to you....you need root explorer or super manager....this isnt done from your computer.
[Captivate General] seclm193:
Is there a way to undo this and put the new recovery back without using odin one click and upgrading again?
[Captivate General] bames:
you can do it on the phone via the kernel flasher app from market
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
The SGS kernel flasher app page in the market says "*lagfix detection is not finished". What does this mean? I am planning to flash voodoo lagfix kernel on my stock froyo captivate. Please let me know

Hi folks,

I am new here and i am interesting to here from you which rom is the best for you.(battery life,speed..etc).

Thanx a lot
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilil:
That is up to. If I were you, I would try different Roms.

If you like Sense then the best are Android Revolution, LeeDroid HD and Core Droid.

If you like Stock Android, the best are Cyanogenmod 6 (Android 2.2) and Cyanogenmod 7 (Android 2.3).

But in the end it is up to you...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzontra11:
I know ..tnx man.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilil:
No problem mate.

If you are a newbie than you should use the Android Revolution HD because it is very close to the Stock Rom, it is fast, stable and has a good battery drain.

Just for info: There is a "Thanks" Button ;)

Did you use the latest version of the tool.

If that isn't the problem, then my last suggestion would be to flash 1.32.405.6 RUU so that you have a "clean" DHD.

After that make root again with VISIONary+ and try to make ENG/Radio S-OFF again.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanctus Peregrinus:
Is there any benefit to allowing rom manager partition my sd?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichMD:
Value of partition SD "I think"

I wondered the same thing at first. I believe the value of this is if you do not have an external SD card installed which allows you to move apps from internal storage (first 2G of your 16G internal SD). When you partition your SD then it looks like you have an external SD so you can move apps that support that to save space on that first 2G. I'm not sure if this is all completely correct but the main point I believe is that there is no value if you have an external SD card.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanctus Peregrinus:
That makes sense. Is there any disadvantage to having an app on the external sd card? Will Titanium Backup still see it and do it's thing to it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichMD:
I don't believe there are any disadvantages. TB will still backup apps on the external SD and I change the backup folder to "external_sd\Titanium Backup". After I flash a ROM which clears all user data, I simply reinstall TB and change the backup folder to the external SD location and all the backups are still there so I can restore.

Sorry guys

i have 435 Firmware and baseband 54, and a theme on it (2.1 Theme Green Glow) - now i want a other theme - what i must do - only flash over the old - or all new?

thx - sorry for my bad english
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyDee:
The only problem I can think of with just writing over the old theme is if the new theme does not have a modded battery & reboot option and the old one does then I'm not really sure how the icons would appear or if the phone would even run properly.

But if the new theme has either reboot or battery mod or both you should be ok.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
Install via xRecovery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidjems:
as usual, do a backup, and apply through xrecovery.

A theme replaces /adds various system app and usually the framework-res.apk. You shouldn't suffer any data loss. But depending on the theme, you might loose some functionalities like 180° rotation (Cyanogen based themes).

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gabe3:
someone should try xMaps and report back
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] omarza:
I am trying it out. Wont be able to test the gps feature tonight but will do tomorrow. It allows you to select an area and then to download the maps. Before the download starts you select the area by moving the map and then marking the block you wish to download. it then tells you the amount of space it will take like 16mb as example...and you can change the quality if you so wish and it will then show you the size change it will take. However...the one thing i'm unsure of and still need to check is to see if I select a block to download at a 0-20km resolution...it doesn't seem to download the 0-10km resolution block (ie when you zoom in) and i think that must be downloaded separately...OR I must choose the higher resolution when I download...i'm still checking on that.

It does show you your movement speed as well as height. It also shows the scale in the bottom right corner and you can set markers etc as well and also tilt the map instead of totally from the top etc.

I will give more feedback tomorrow as I check a bit more. What I can say...one big negative point for me thus far...this app eats thru my battery...maybe due the map downloads I am doing but went from 95% to 50% in 30min with this application so far.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gabe3:
hmm, well thanks for the info so far. does it give you some navigation features, like a route from point A to B?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] omarza:
Yes it does give you the option to specify a starting location and ending location...and then creates the route for you. The location can either be an address or coordinates.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gabe3:
what about picking a point on the map, maybe you can long press on the map to choose your point B?

also, how big are the map sizes? I don't know what country your in, but if you were to download an entire state, like florida is where I am, how big would it be on highest quality?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] omarza:
long pressing pops the marker window and I still need to see if one can use the markers as locations for routing.

I am not sure how big that would be but I would guess probably a couple of gig in size and that's a rough guess....and a lot of downloading. One problem I found with downloading maps is that when wp7 locks the phone it cancel's the download.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gabe3:
strange the maps are so big, cause for tomtom and copilot, the maps for US and Canada are under 2gb, I think they are about 1.7gb, forget exactly. florida really shouldnt be more than 50mb. if you see what format its downloading maps as, maybe you can use http://www.openstreetmap.org/ to download maps instead, and put them where ever xMaps is saving maps to.

[Android Themes] noomski:
Hi all,

I've downloaded these icons and would like to use the psd's that the artist provided to make lots more.

I think the quickest way to make more would be to get the official icon and shrink it so that it can be placed on the little coloured squares.

So my question is: How do I access the icon in an .apk file and also the icons for the default apps like the calculator, navigation etc? I see them on the phone screen smiling back at me but just can't seem to get my hands on the raw .png file.

Perhaps there's some kind of .apk extractor or maybe they are in the phone memory when it's on and can be lifted from there?

Many thanks to any bright spark that knows how to do this. I've searched plenty but maybe I'm just not using the right search terms or something
[Android Themes] brewcrewwheels:
if all you're after is the .png to make an icon, you could copy the .apk to your computer and rename it to a .zip and extract it. the icons would be in the drawable-hdpi folder.

just in case you were asking where the .apk files are, look in /data/app or /system/app, depending on the app.
[Android Themes] noomski:
Thanks brewcrewwheels,

That worked great for stand alone .apk's but I still can't seem to find the icons for the default apps. I can't find the folders you speak of...
[Android Themes] brewcrewwheels:
which folders are you referring to? actually let's start at the beginning. are you rooted? if so, do you have root explorer? if those are both yes, then in root explorer you would navigate to system, then app, then select the .apk you want. for example, let's say you want the icon for gmail. go to system, app, then long press gmail.apk. copy it to your sd card (make sure you have selected mount r/w in the top right corner), then copy it to your desktop. rename it to gmail.zip and extract it. go to the folder called res, then you will see drawable-hdpi. this contains all the icons used by the app. in this case, the png you are after is called ic_launcher_mail.png

all of the app logos will be in drawable-hdpi, but they may have different file names. that is why i recommend extracting everything, so at least you will have thumbnails to guide you. hopefully this clears things up a bit, but let me know if you need anything further.
[Android Themes] baliriot:
thanks for the tips...:D:D:D
[Android Themes] earthworm1102:
A little off topic here, what about mp3's inside apk games. How do you extract it??
[Android Themes] supergaijin:
same method, different folder. inside the apk, you can have fun exploring all the different folders and you'll find all files. the way I find music inside apk's is to play them in vlc player (google it), and it should point you to its general location. that's how I ripped a couple of hidden songs from my phone's system folder that are inaccessible any other way.

I love my nook and use it to rea frequently. Other than magazines I use Aldiko. I would love for the book ion to launch aldiko, but I figured out to do this I have to edit Aldiko's manifest to have a view action in android.intent.application/drp.
